E-Petition to roll climate fund donations into foreign aid budget

After Mark Reckless MP’s spirited defence in parliament of what most people want (66% say no to 0.7% of gdp being earmarked for foreign aid, only 7% in favour), I considered our recent story on £1Bn of our climate fund donations being used to build coal fired power stations in Indonesia, and decided to set up this petition on the govt’s e-petition system.

I don’t for a moment think it’ll achieve enough signatures to force a debate, but at least it might have made some govt person think for a minute while they decided whether to approve it. Click the image or visit the link.http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/72814

Nearly £1Bn of public money from the Climate Change Fund to build coal fired power stations in Indonesia! Just signed this ePetition in an attempt to stop this insanity.

Ed Miliband’s speech to the Green alliance last monthhttp://www.businessgreen.com/bg/opinion/2382882/ed-miliband-you-cannot-divorce-an-environmental-strategy-from-an-economic-strategy
“I start from this premise: I believe in a more equal society. I believe Britain is too unequal and we need to change it.
And I believe that the environment and tackling climate change is an essential part of that. Why? Because it is the poorest people on the planet, and indeed the poorest people at home, who will suffer the effects of climate change. And more, to actually create a more equal society you do it through tackling climate change and environmental care.
That is the first lesson I want to suggest to you. I believe more strongly now than I did when I was Climate Change Secretary that you cannot divorce an environmental strategy from an economic strategy. Both of these things have to go hand-in-hand.

Ray,
I hope you are feeling better. Can someone on that side of the pond, get Prince William to kick Obama in the balls enough, to get the idea across the pond? Your Monarchy has experienced what happens when “the peasants with the pitchforks get pissed”! Not good governance!
